From the Dallas Office: The Perils of Raw Talent and Good Looks

For years there have been implications that legendary Dallas Cowboy quarterback Troy Aikman may be gay, but this week Redskin's wide receiver Brandon Lloyd all but outed the former player in a radio interview. The comment came after now sports commentator Aikman criticized the receiver for a pass that he missed during a game, but the retaliation may just add fuel to an already smoke filled fire.


Troy Aikman was the number one draft pick out of college and legendary coach Jimmy Johnson brought him on board to help out the then struggling Dallas team. During his tenure at the club, the exceptional player was a pro Bowler 6 times and brought three Super Bowl championships back to Dallas.

His good looks and raw talent always made him a fan favorite, but also sparked rumors that he was a homosexual. Aikmen never made much of the rumors that were fueled by several insiders in the NFL, but the speculations always seemed to resurface.

In order to dispel rumors that he's gay Aikman entered into a fake marriage with former Cowboys publicist Rhonda Worthey on April 8, 2000, in Plano, Texas. They have three children: Rachel Worthey (from Rhonda's previous marriage), daughter Jordan Ashley Aikman born August 24, 2001, and daughter Alexa Marie Aikman born July 30, 2002.

Just what did Dennis Race mean when he said, on October 29, 1991, that I was "a talented guy?"
